Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H.W. Bush, recently commented on how the US Government is responsible for $21-Trillion in “unauthorized spending” between 1998 and 2015 alone. This was documented by Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University in 2017. Catherine believes much of it went into “underground base and city infrastructure and transportation systems” that have already been built. A Washington Post article in 2010 documented the Hidden World of a massively complex national security and intelligence network infrastructure built across the country in the wake of 911. But that's only part of it, and only encompasses the decade between 2001 and 2010 - not to mention the $2.3-Trillion announced missing one day before 911 and the justification to build this infrastructure. It doesn't include the half a century of public and private construction projects for military command centers like NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain or VIP bunkers under Greenbrier Resort. Some of this is for military control, others for continuity of government, and still others for laboratories perhaps akin to the Hive, or simply for nuclear material storage. In fact NASA just found a decommissioned facility in Greenland that was home to Camp Century and Project Iceworm. All of this spending coupled with authorized military spending adds up to over half of the country's national debt. Many of these bunkers, command centers, facilities, etc., have price tags that in order to add up to the unauthorized trillions must be beyond vast, they must be numerous beyond what we can conceive. And these facilities are worldwide, likely under the ocean as much as they are buried into mountains. The wealthy are also building their own bunkers toady, some of which are luxury facilities. Then there are facilities built right under our feet and meant for flood preparations, like the G-Cans in Tokyo. There are also reports of odd booms and explosions hear around the world for several decades. Some is probably atmospheric, part is geological, and others are possible a result of these projects. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Sunday Aug. 4, 2024. Students at the WV School of Osteopathic Medicine kick off the semester with a day of community service…Point Pleasant is the focus of a popular online travel show's latest episode…and capture your WV travels with a photo from an Almost Heaven swing showcasing some of the state's iconic landmarks…on today's daily304. #1 – From THE REAL WV –  “Medical school is more than a medical education,” says Dr. Jim Nemitz, President of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg. “It's also about learning to become community leaders.”  WVSOM takes that mantra seriously, by offering a capstone service activity at the end of the first week of school for incoming students. As part of orientation and coming on the heels of their first classes, students spend their first Saturday in medical school doing community service projects across the Greenbrier Valley.  Volunteers from WVSOM visited 16 different sites to offer their skills in service. Host sites included Clifton Presbyterian Church, State Fair of West Virginia, Child Youth & Advocacy Center, Greenbrier County Public Library, Greenbrier Humane Society, and the Williamsburg Community Building. At least one staff or faculty member accompanied a group of students at each location, performing work such as organizing books, landscaping, dog-walking, light construction, and painting.  Students track their volunteer hours all year long as part of their future placement in a residency. They participate in a national program called T.O.U.C.H. (Translating Osteopathic Understanding Into Community Health), which places value on community service as part of medical education.  Read more: https://therealwv.com/2024/07/29/medical-students-start-their-education-with-a-day-of-service/   #2 – From WV NEWS –  A popular online travel show recently filmed two episodes in Point Pleasant, which are set to premiere this week on YouTube.

He had become determined to cover all of the city's history, going back to The Battle of Point Pleasant. Other locations in the state that McLaughlin visits in his show's second season, and also featured in “Fallout 76,” are The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, and the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston. “It is an incredibly beautiful and diverse state,” McLaughlin said.

Passion for your work can give you energy to do more than you ever dreamed you'd have time for. That's the case for William Dissen, chef of The Market Place in Asheville, NC, which this year, its 45th in operation, was named a semifinalist for Outstanding Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation. William began honing his skills through study at the Culinary Institute of America and in various kitchens, including the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, and the beloved but now closed Cypress in Charleston, SC. In addition to another restaurant venture, Billy D's Fried Chicken, he has a big life outside the kitchen as well. He's a member of the U.S. State Department's American Chefs Corps, a “Seafood Watch Ambassador” for the Monterey Bay Aquarium, on the board of the University of South Carolina's School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, and now, a cookbook author with Thoughtful Cooking: Recipes Rooted in the New South. Granted, it's an unusual title for a man who always seems on the go, but because of his style of cooking, he's always looking to nature and the seasons, which tell him to slow down and notice. It's a practice he actively cultivates. Take one bite of his food, and that's evident -- there's a point of view and a grounded ethos behind every dish.

Today on MetroNews This Morning:--Governor Jim Justice says he's mulling over the vaccination bill and plans for a special session--The Governor tells MetroNews he was unaware of seven liens filed against his Greenbrier Resort for unpaid sales taxes--The remarkable story of Charlie Plumb, shot down and held prisoner in Vietnam--In Sports: Major League Baseball underway and in college baseball WVU tops Marshall

Brad D. Smith was six years old when a plane carrying the 1970 Marshall University football team crashed a mile from his home near campus in southern West Virginia, killing all 75 people on board. His cousins rushed to aid their dying neighbors as volunteer firefighters. “I watched the flames burn outside my window,” Smith remembers. “And then I watched this community rise from the ashes.”Half a century later, the recently retired Intuit CEO's community is waging new battles, with an opioid epidemic raging and the coal economy that once made Governor Jim Justice a billionaire on the verge of extinction. So, after 36 years away, Smith decided to take the country roads back home to West Virginia, the place he belongs—and into the President's House at Marshall, his alma mater, which he took over in January 2022. He brought back with him a sizable fortune, accumulated over nearly four decades in business. According to Forbes' ranking of the richest person in each state, released Thursday for the first time since 2019, he's West Virginia's wealthiest resident, worth $700 million.Forbes estimates that roughly half of his fortune is comprised of 943,000 Intuit shares and options he still holds. That's after selling 2.4 million shares during his tenure as CEO from 2008 to 2018 (and as chairman until January 2022), netting him about $300 million (after taxes and the cost of option exercises). He takes the mantle as the state's richest from Jim Justice, whose wealth has been weighed down by debt. Smith is worth some $250 million more than the governor, who dropped from the ranks of the world's billionaires in 2021, when it was revealed that he'd personally guaranteed $850 million of loans to his coal businesses by Credit Suisse via a now insolvent intermediary, Greensill Capital. (Justice also owns the iconic Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and other real estate assets in Appalachia; he disputes Forbes' estimate of his fortune.) Smith declined to comment on Forbes' estimate of his net worth.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Sunday, Oct. 22  Preservation Alliance is accepting applications for grants to save historic buildings.

The nearly $15 million expansion to the flight school is expected to bring a new hangar and helicopter to the school. The helicopter purchase would be used to begin a third academic training course of study that would be the only school in the region with a training program for rotorcraft pilots. Bill Noe, Chief Aviation Officer at Marshall University, said the expansion comes at the perfect time. “There is such a need for rotorcraft aviation professionals, and that touches everything. It touches law enforcement, the medical field, pipelines, powerlines. The need for rotorcraft helicopter pilots is as much if not more than the fixed-wing airplane,” he said.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Sunday, Sept. 10  Recent data shows tourism in West Virginia continues to grow by leaps and bounds…the Mountain State's forest products industry generates $3.2 billion a year…and, thinking of digging ginseng? The medicinal herb has many uses, but Forestry wants to make sure you follow the rules...on today's daily304. #1 – From THE GAZETTE-MAIL – West Virginia's tourism industry continues to grow year over year, according to West Virginia Department of Tourism data revealed at the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce's annual business summit recently at The Greenbrier Resort. The data show West Virginia tourism-related content received more than 7 billion impressions in 2022 — more than doubling 2021 numbers. Visitor spending generated more than $754 million in tax revenue for the state that same year. “We have the newest national park in 2022 and West Virginia was the only state to get on every major travel list,” Chamber President and CEO Tricia Ball said. “CNN named us as one of the most underrated travel destinations. USA Today named us a top family destination and Lovely Planet ranked us as the No. 2 travel region ranking only behind Iceland.” According to the West Virginia Department of Tourism, the industry accounts for about 44,000 jobs across the state and 21,000 job openings are projected within the next few years.

West Virginia's beautiful, forested mountains make it the second-leading hardwood state in the country, ranked third nationally by percentage of forested land.  The forest products industry—which is made up of loggers, sawmills, dry kilns, veneer plants and furniture and rustic rail fence producers—generates $3.2 billion for the state economy every year and employs more than 30,000 people in highly skilled and technical positions. Companies such as AHF Products, Gat Creek, Weyerhaeuser and Columbia Forest Products, among others, make use of the state's 12 million acres of forestland and 75 billion board feet of timber inventory in an industry that reaches all 55 counties. The promise of expansion, sustainability and an already skilled workforce positions West Virginia as a critical provider of hardwoods as more and more companies focus on utilizing sustainable products, according to Eric Carlson, executive director of the West Virginia Forestry Association.  Carlson said he would also like to see more secondary and finish manufacturing investments and new products, as well as innovation in harvesting equipment, develop in the Mountain State. “We have seen great cooperation with the state's economic development team to date, but we also need private equity investment to modernize the entire supply chain,” he says. “Like many businesses, it takes years to recoup the initial investment, and market demand for products is crucial.” Read more: https://wvexecutive.com/fundamental-forest-products/   #3 – From THE REGISTER-HERALD – Ginseng season is underway in West Virginia and runs through Nov. 30 Wild ginseng has been an ingredient in Appalachian culture, as well as medicinal folklore, for generations. West Virginia 'seng diggers have been looking to make money from the golden root for nearly 200 years. It has been used for centuries in North America and Asia for its purported medicinal properties. According to traditional folklore, ginseng roots are used in teas, soups, and medicines to treat sickness, increase vitality, relieve mental and physical fatigue, and prolong life. The West Virginia Division of Forestry closely monitors the harvesting of ginseng to protect ginseng supplies for the future. If you're a ginseng digger, consult (and heed!) the rules and regulations posted at wvforestry.com/ginseng-program. The site includes resources such as lists of West Virginia ginseng dealers and weigh stations.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Friday, Aug. 18 Meet the Unger sisters, college students who have spent their summer helping to restore a historic Elkins hotel…discover history, natural wonders and small-town charm in the Greenbrier Valley…and tours of the Tygart dam resume…on today's daily304. #1 – From THE INTER-MOUNTAIN–  Anyone visiting downtown Elkins this summer has likely seen the humongous boom lift being used for renovation work at the Tygart Hotel. Making use of the piece of equipment is the father and daughters team of Past Respects, a company based in Spencer, working on the bricks on the front of the building. Frank Unger and his daughters, Savannah and Marleigh, have spent several weeks this summer “repointing” the bricks of the historic hotel. Part of that work has involved using the large lift to reach the upper floors. “It has been enjoyable,” Savannah Unger said. “I always enjoy it when we work together as a family. Elkins is a really pretty area too, so just the drive up here is nice. The project in general was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. It is a huge building.” Along with the front of the building, the group also worked on the chimneys on the hotel. Their goal has been to complete one floor a week and currently they have the third through the sixth floor completed. Both sisters -- college students who began working with their father at a young age -- encouraged girls to take a look at all types of work. “To all the young girls out there, you can be a lift operator too,” Marleigh Unger said.

Since the tours' reopening in July, they have been in high demand, with dates fully booked through the beginning of September. Stacy Lewis, the Tygart Dam resource manager, emphasized the importance of offering these tours to the public. “I think that it's good for them to understand the mission that the USACE [U.S. Army Corps of Engineers] has, along with the state park and kind of why we're here and why Tygart Lake is here because of the dam,” Lewis said. “It's a big part of our community, so it's good that we're able to get people back in there and take them on a tour.” The tours are free and last about an hour and a half. They begin at the top of the dam and continue down and through it. Visitors are advised to wear appropriate footwear as there is a significant amount of walking and descending steps involved.  Read more: https://www.wvnews.com/news/wvnews/tygart-lake-state-park-resumes-dam-tours-after-eight-year-hiatus/article_4ddee61e-0939-505c-8c5f-feca707febb4.html?fbclid=IwAR3WFi5_UJMzLOpZYIN9N68Ch86DRomczUy7p4Ko_rFM3Lo5yXfiv8f7bDU_aem_ARC89Ikt5ObjskMeb1G3zq66Szn-KZrHYl4JHZOYJOfNdbgY5Jq3ve0BDq9WrDw4Liw&mibextid=9R9pXO   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

Almost Heaven. Those are the first two words of John Denver's "Country Roads," his ode to West Virginia. It is home to the Greenbrier Resort, the steam-powered Cass Scenic Railroad, memorable rafting expeditions on the New River, and the spectacular New River Gorge Bridge. It's a state that is 98% mountainous, rich in railroads and coal mines, and known as the westernmost eastern state, the easternmost western state, the northenmost southern state, and the southernmost northern state. Learn more on Thursday, August 17, when Lauren Hough visits TRAVEL ITCH RADIO for a talk with Dan Schlossberg and Maryellen Nugent Lee.

The boys are back and ready to talk some LIV Tour.  Tom spent the weekend in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia at the beautiful Greenbrier Resort to watch some live LIV Golf.  A full recap of an action packed weekend.  The good, the bad, and the ugly from everything inside the ropes.  Then we jump around a number of other random sports that occurred until we reach the chaos that was the conference realignment over the weekend.  The PAC 12 is dead.   Is the ACC next?  Is the Big 12 sick?  A lot to sort out but we are fired up regardless.

Chef Art Smith is known across the country and around the world for his cooking, but he started out his life in the little-known, rural town of Jasper, Florida. “Seventh generation — and I'm the only family member on my father's side that actually left the state and I'm the only chef among all the police officers and people within the prison system, etc,” he said. Though he is the only chef, Smith is not the only member of his family to learn their way around a kitchen. “They could really cook and they all believed in the power of food,” he said. “You feed them, they come. You keep feeding them, they stay. You feed them a lot, you get what you want.” Smith went to school at Florida State University, though he admits he was not the best student and was flunking classes. However, he did take advantage of other opportunities at the school. “I discovered something called an internship and so it was like a free pass out of school,” he said. Smith wound up interning at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. “Then Disney came a calling and that was a harder sell. It took me, I remember at least three or four auditions before I got it,” he said. Smith said the competition among his fellow interns at Disney was stiff. “I went there and there were all these culinary students. They all thought they were a little fabulous. And so the chef of the former Empress Lilly threw this baking contest,” he said. Smith said he was not a trained baker and learned by reading on his own. “I entered it, and I beat them,” he said. “So I was like, ‘I don't have to have a culinary education to beat other chefs.' So I go back to school, still not doing great and the dean says, ‘You know Art, you're a very nice guy. You're a good cook, but you're a terrible student.' He said, You know, the governor needs some help. So I want you to go over there and help him out.'” It was in the governor's mansion that Smith's career really started to flourish. He began to prepare meals, not just the governor, Bob Graham, and his wife, Adele Graham, but also for their guests — such as Mikhail Baryshnikov. “It was not the highest paying job in my life, but what it did do — once you work for a head of state, you have something called security clearance,” Smith said. This would pay dividends for the chef later in life, after he had made his way to Chicago. “A very special guest came to Chicago and they could not find a chef to cook for her,” Smith said. “Because Scotland Yard would not approve any of the chef's because they didn't have the security clearance.” This ultimately gave Smith the opportunity to cook for Princess Diana. “If I hadn't worked for the Grahams — if I hadn't worked at the Florida governor's mansion — I wouldn't have the security clearance and I wouldn't have been able to cook for her,” he said. On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Smith shares more of how he came up in the culinary world and eventually found himself as the personal chef to Oprah Winfrey. He also talks about his restaurant at Disney Springs and some of his signature dishes. Please follow our Florida Foodie hosts on social media. You can find Candace Campos on Twitter and Facebook.

Destination Unknown Tour Date:  11/07/20 Greenbriar Resort, West Virginia Elizabeth takes us to the the mountains of West Virginia.  Since 1778, The Greenbrier Resort has welcomed guests from around the world.  Known for its amazing golf courses, 20 restaurants and 710 guest rooms, The Greenbrier has welcomed 26 American Presidents and leaders from around the world.  Underneath the West Virginia Wing of the hotel lies a what once was a very closely guarded, classified secret.  Between 1958 and 1992, the US Government built and maintained a fully functional "emergency bunker" designed to house the Congress of the United States in the event of a national emergency.  A relic of the Cold War Era, the government could whisk away members of congress and keep a functioning government in the event of nuclear attack.   The secret was burst in 1992 when a reporter decided to write about it.  Today, the bunker is available for tours at our Destination Unknown - Under The Greenbrier Resort, West Virginia. Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty  Now on iHeart Radio.  Listen to the LIVE feed of the entire show every Saturday morning at 8am.

Big Draft Brewing is helping to bring small town West Virginia back to life Big Draft Brewing is located in the tiny town of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.  Population 3,000, give or take. The town, and the larger Greenbrier Valley community, has faced some hard times in recent years.  The opioid epidemic chipped away at the community and the "1,000 year flood" of 2016 caused widespread destruction and loss of life. Our show this week is as much about the tenacity of the residents of White Sulphur Springs as it is about beer.  You'll have to humor me, this one is kind of personal.  My family is from White Sulphur Springs and I spent some of my childhood Summers there.  It's a close community with strong family ties.  Turns out, by complete chance, my family ties run right to Big Draft Brewing.  It's quite a story so make sure to listen in to hear the full scoop. Founders David Bostic, Clay Elkins, and JW Groseclose join us on the show this week to talk about their brewery and the overall revitalization of their town.  They've built up a city block with Big Draft Brewing, a BBQ spot, a cafe and coffee house, and a concert hall and events venue.  They intend to grow it as as destination that reaches far beyond the city line. But we do talk about beer plenty as well.  JW is the brewmaster and his goal is to make classic and approachable beers that everyone can enjoy.  We sampled the Foreman American Lager, Sudsy's Pale Ale, Bo Red Bohemian Red, and the seasonal Festbier and can vouch for all of them.  There are barrel-aged beers in the works, a saison in the fermenters, and some mad scientist brew utilizing ramps (the wild vegetable) in the works. In addition to tasty beer and BBQ the crew tells us about the fishing, hunting, hiking, and off-roading adventures in the area.  Sounds like a great time all around.  I better get on those country roads now. Side note.... you may not know White Sulphur Springs by name but you may have heard of The Greenbrier Resort.  It's got quite a story, you should check it out.  If you're a gamer and a fan of Fallout 76, you might recognize the Greenbrier as The Whitespring Resort.

This week we are joined by Zac Hoffman from Washington, DC. Growing up in Northern Virginia, Zac began his hospitality career cooking in a small wine bar in Leesburg with a tiny kitchen. Working at night and attending a vocational High School during the day, the itch to create art with food took hold. After a few years of cooking in large and small kitchens, Zac attended The Culinary Institue of America where he graduated twice, being an incredibly involved student throughout his educational career. Once graduated, Zac found an opportunity in West Virginia at the storied Greenbrier Resort where he completed an MIT (Manager In Training) program before returning home to the DC area.  Working with chefs like Bryan Voltaggio, Kwame Onwuatchi, and Frank Rutta, several opportunities arose to be a part of many different restaurant opening teams in and around DC. In 2018, a local political campaign would shift everything when Zac became an outspoken leader for the industry, leading bar and restaurant workers to the steps of the DC StateHouse to have their voices heard. Zac Co-found the DC Bar and Restaurant Workers Alliance with other industry veterans, ran for public office, and uses his experience to work with national and local groups supporting the Industry during the pandemic.  Links Twitter: @zac_hoffman Instagram: @zac90210 DC Bar and Restaurant Workers Alliance - dcbrwa.org Podcast Artwork by Zak Hannah @zak.hannah

World TeamTennis has been around for years and has certainly has had to adapt over that time. But the recently completed 45th season was the most unusual one yet. Instead of playing matches in the league's nine home markets, the league co-founded by Billie Jean King played the entire season at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The end result was a July 12–August 1 tournament that featured the highest television ratings in league history. In this podcast with World TeamTennis CEO Carlos Silva, SportsTravel Editor and Publisher Jason Gewirtz discusses how the league landed on the resort as host, how it approached testing of its players and how it was able to allow spectators in the stands — a rarity in the pandemic era of professional sports.

Considered one of the most talented names in design, Bunny is also an accomplished businesswoman, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist. A lover of dogs, gardens, and china, Bunny’s knowledge and expertise is on par with her enjoyment of life. Her eponymous firm — launched in 1988 following a 22-year apprenticeship with the esteemed Parish-Hadley Associates — has wrought its own indelible imprint and legacy. Bunny Williams Associates is renowned for balancing refined beauty, welcoming livable appeal, and attention to detail. While the creation of delightful rooms is Bunny’s passion, her firm’s success above all, is anchored in long-lasting and valued relationships with its clientele. The resulting commissions over three decades — many for repeat homeowners — are found across the United States and abroad, in city apartments, country estates and cottages; in the mountains and by the water. Bunny’s own houses and her long career have provided ample material and inspiration for six books to date, and she is a sought-after speaker and mentor on design, decoration, gardening, and entertaining. Bunny grew up in the countryside near Charlottesville, Virginia. Her parents encouraged her passion for the arts and led her to Garland Junior College in Boston, where she studied interior design. A watershed moment at age 15 was visiting the Dorothy Draper-decorated Greenbrier Resort, which had a color palette unlike anything Bunny had ever seen. “It really opened my eyes and the lesson I learned was not to play it safe,” shares Bunny. Upon moving to New York, Bunny worked at Stair & Co., an antiques gallery frequented by Sister Parish and Albert Hadley. Bunny subsequently joined Parish-Hadley and remained at the venerable firm for 22 years. “I was honored to work there and was exposed to so much; their extraordinary projects and partnership, the design process, everything. By the time I left, I’d been the secretary, an assistant, and a buyer. I had the tools and experience to run my own enterprise, which I did — starting with three people working out of my guest bedroom!” Shortly thereafter, fueled by her devotion to gardening, Bunny opened Treillage in 1991 along with her husband, the antiques dealer John Rosselli. Considered both ground breaking and industry changing, Treillage drew A-list designers, editors, and tastemakers to its off-the-beaten track, Upper East Side destination for the ultimate in home and garden. “Twenty-five years ago, Treillage was something entirely new, but all good things come to an end. Now, with Bunny Williams Home, I’m proud to show an entire line under one roof and we’re creating accessories with the aim of becoming a complete home-furnishings company.” Never one to rest on her many awards, accolades, and honors, Bunny keeps her eye on what’s next, whether it’s her collaborations with Ballard Designs, Bunny Williams Home, or her next book. Forward thinking always, Bunny says, “While it’s certainly nice to look back on one’s accomplishments, it’s more interesting for me to look ahead. The firm, while instilled with my expectations and objectives, is taking on an exciting new dimension with Elizabeth Swartz as my partner. Together, we are all part of a greater legacy that branches out from Parish-Hadley and it feels very relevant in our fast-paced world. She completes my vision and takes it a step further: we work hard and have fun in the process.”

In this episode of the TurfNet Renovation Report, host Anthony Pioppi chats with Kelly Shumate, director of agronomy at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulfur Springs, WV.  Only two weeks before the 2016 PGA Greenbrier Classic was scheduled to be played, the entire state of West Virginia was ravaged by 11" of rain in five hours, and resultant flash flooding.  The golf courses at The Greenbrier were covered with mud and silt, and there was standing water everywhere. Greens were destroyed, and the sand in the bunkers washed away by the rushing waters. Beyond that, several maintenance team members lost their homes, and nearly all were affected. Listen to Anthony and Kelly chat about the recovery and restoration process. Recorded in September, 2018

About 15 years ago, I had occasion to stay at the famous Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV. This sprawling resort has been a play land for the nation’s wealthy since 1778, and is famous for housing a secret bunker that was intended to be used by Congress in the event of a nuclear […]

This week on In the Drink, Joe Campanale is talking about Italian wine with Jeff Kellogg, Beverage Director at Maialino. Jeff was naturally drawn to the restaurant industry and began waiting tables at the age of 18, which laid the foundation for his role at a restaurant group called 131 Main in Charlotte, NC, where he helped open four new restaurant locations and a wine bar. From there, Jeff strengthened his wine knowledge by working as a sommelier at the historic Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV. He then moved to Napa in 2011 to work the harvest and served as a sommelier at the Michelin-starred restaurants Redd and La Toque. While there, Jeff passed the Advanced Exam of the Court of Master Sommeliers, receiving the prestigious Rudd Scholarship for the highest scoring candidate. After a stint working the harvest at Gramercy Cellars in Walla Walla, WA he relocated to San Francisco to become a sommelier at RN74. In June 2013, he moved across the country yet again to become Maialino’s new Beverage Director. “When you’re around the wine business a lot you think you know all the producers but that’s not the case at all. Once you start to learn stuff you realize you know nothing.” [08:00] –Jeff Kellogg on In the Drink
